Faxon 5.56 NATO 14.5″ Gunner Barrel w/ Slim 3 Port Brake

Manufactured 100% in-house from gun-barrel-quality bar-stock, the Faxon 5.56 NATO 14.5″ Gunner Barrel starts with 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium Mil-Spec steel. From there, the barrel goes through a battery of tests at each operation until finished in Nitride and final inspected. This beautiful 5.56 NATO 14.5″ Gunner barrel is individually checked for headspace by precision custom hardened gauges.

We’ve taken them a step further, adding in our patent-pending permanently attached SLIM muzzle devices. Shooters can choose from a 3 port muzzle device or three-prong flash hider, both allowing the full assembly and disassembly of gas blocks and barrel nuts. Shooters are forever free to change their weapon’s configuration without having to go to a gunsmith.

Just what is the Gunner profile?

The Gunner profile is a blend of two of the best performing profiles of all time, Government, and Pencil.

Proving every once and awhile, the Government can do something right, the Gunner profile from extension to gas block mimics that well-known taper. Innovation then takes over and the Gunner moves to a .625″ gas block journal and our famed pencil profile out front.

Removing weight from the front of the barrel ensures maximum versatility and keeps material to the rear to maximize heat resistance and mitigate whip.
